'Take care. The consequences of an act are often much more numerous
and important than people have any idea of.' Today W.S. Gilbert is
best known for the comic operas he produced in collaboration with
Arthur Sullivan, a creative partnership that diverged over the
supernatural. Unlike Sullivan, Gilbert was a great fan of fairy
tales, and Foggerty's Fairy, one of his most unjustly neglected
plays, is a brilliant farcical comedy that hinges on the
wish-granting of a fairy. Loosely based on his short story 'The
Story of a Twelfth Cake', Foggerty's Fairy considers the dangers of
playing with the past. Trying to shore up his relationship, a man
enlists a fairy's help to make a few tweaks in his past - he soon
realises, however, these small changes have made great waves
through time, and his present becomes unbearable.
